Exercise Tips for Elderly People
Probably the second most important dietary principle for those who exercise is to drink large quantities of water. As little as a 2 percent drop in body weight caused by water loss (primarily from sweat) can reduce exercise capacity. In other words, if a runner weighs 150 pounds and loses 3.0 pounds during an exercise bout, his performance ability is reduced, as he enters the zone of impending exhaustion.
Thirst lags behind actual whole body requirements. Therefore just before, during, and also following the work out round, individuals must drink a good amount of water, beyond the needs of thirst. A plan recommended by some sports medicine experts is to drink two cups of water immediately before the exercise session, and then two more cups after the session.
Exercise in elderly is the same. We need plenty of water before exercise. But in elderly we must adjust the weight training and the frequencies of our training wisely. Senior Health Plans are also important in elderly people.
